But, he got 40% of the vote.  Which means that 60% of the Republican electorate voted against him.

Stutzman will be a voice in the US Senate one day, and maybe pretty soon (2013).

IIRC, Coats already was in the Congress--he took over Dan Quayle's US Senate seat in a special elction in 1990.  He retired in 1998.  He had been in the US House of Representatives from 1981 to 1989.  I know that, in the past, he voted for the Brady Bill in 1993, and Babs Boxer's trigger lock legislation in 1994.  The NRA has done a mailer that says that if Coats won the Republican nomination, they will support the Democrat nominee for Evan Bayh's old seat.
